I am called Eilmiertho of Bismuth, the 83rd Science Planet. The historians are working on a new History of Humanity now that the Five Who Were Lost have been found. The historians tell me that the Five were originally called the "Five Freaks" during the first century of their being which seems obscene, but I am told it was justified.

I digress.

This communication has been commissioned for the purpose of describing the scientific nature of humanity's first interstellar enemy, the creators of our species and the curators of Earth. I speak, of course, of the Starborne. I am told that the humanity which first discovered the Starborne called them "Space Gerbils", another highly disrespectful name which paints the culture of the time in a poor light. However, Old Humanity had no conception of the uniqueness terrifying power of this species so foolish bravado can be forgiven.

It took over 600 years for humanity to first communicate with a member of the Starborne species but that first conversation sparked a new age of enlightenment that has continued these past 93,000 years.

Again I digress into history. It fascinates me that you do not yet know the things we of my generation take for granted. I will speak no more of the history of Humanity or of the exploits of the Five.

There are at least four spatial dimensions to Reality. Our universe exists on the surface of a four dimensional expanding hypersphere. Nearly all the matter that make up objects in universe are configured three-dimensionally meaning that if there exists some clump of atoms, the locations of those atoms in space can be described using only three dimensions. The exceptions to this 3D configuration of atoms are the black hole and the Starborne.

The Starborne are beings made of crystalline atomic structure configured mostly in three dimensions but slightly in the fourth. The most common Starborne are made mostly of carbon so I will use that as an example.

A Starborne is created in the heart of a supernova. Every time a supernova occurs a Starborne is born. While the Supernova is proceeding, the massive pressure and energy creates the denser elements by pressing the nuclei of atoms together forming heavier atoms, as is known by the scientists of your time. What is not know is that, at the center of the supernova, the atoms that already exist in the original star are "bounced" out of your universe in the fourth direction and, as they land upon other crystallized atoms they join the crystal formation "stacked" above the other crystal creating a four dimensional crystalline structure. This structure is very shallow and often only one layer deep in the direction of the fourth dimension. However, the most powerful Starborne are known to have up to 70 atoms of 4D thickness to their crystalline structure making them obscenely powerful. Luckily, these reside exclusively in the center of the galaxy so Humanity has yet to meet one.

The creation of a Starborne requires tremendous energy and imbues the being with that energy. However, once the energy begins to deplete with use it is very difficult to restore.

As mentioned above, the universe exists on the surface of an expanding hypersphere with matter in a mostly 3D configuration. In addition to matter and the surface of the object, there is a layer of 4D liquid that covers the hypersphere. The surface of the object transmits vibrations in three dimensions, but the 4D liquid transmits vibrations in four dimensions.

The atoms of our universe are constantly wiggling as you know in your time. What you do not know is that the wiggling vibrates the 4D liquid and extremely complex objects create self sustaining patterns of vibration. The most complex objects in the universe are the minds of sentient beings. The mind of any thinking being is partly physical, and mostly a pattern in the liquid. Sometimes the pattern of the mind can hold itself together for a time after the being has died though there is always progressive decay. This is where ghostly phenomena comes from.

The two Starborne humans have created friendships with now live on Ghost Worlds one and two where they maintain the ghosts of the diseased for a time. Millions of humans flock to these worlds so they can experience life after death for a time. We in our time have also perfected the creation of drugs that focus the mind so that our "ghosts" can view the surpassing beauty of our 4D universe. Of course, those who do this risk the notice of parasites in the liquid who can feed off the energy of "ghosts" untethered to their physical forms. I believe this is called a "bad trip" in your time and can be mentally agonizing.

This information about the "ghosts" of sentient minds is important because the Starborne consume these "ghosts" in order to maintain their energy. It is the energy of 4D vibrations which is different from the energy of 3D vibrations that the Starborne can gather any time they decide to dip into a star for its energy.

The Starborne were the first sentient beings in our universe but at one point, in one galaxy, on one planet where the conditions for life were ideal, one Starborne scientist managed to create life while trying to create complexity strong enough to vibrate the 4D liquid. That Starborne cultivated the life on the planet for several million years until it produced sentience at which point the being began consuming the "ghosts" of those beings.

That Starborne the most promising life to other planets seeding them with life too and thereby "farming" the energy of sentient beings. Our planet too was seeded and cultivated by a team of Starborne tasked with this duty by those at the galactic center but they were lax in their cultivation and the burst of technological innovation brought an end to their mission, and their lives, due to the actions of the Five which the Starborne themselves helped create by accident.

The story of the Five is the greatest story humans have produced in the nearly 94,000 years since first contact with the Starborne and I hope our historians will share it with you at some point. The Five Freaks (as you will first call them) are but five threads in the tapestry of human history, but they are the five that shine the brightest. Not other being in human history has changed the course of history so drastically. The same could be said for the histories of Orcs, Octos, Whale-kind, and the Purple Mother.)

However, none of our speciese would have ever existed without the Starborne existing first. Now, though the Human led alliance of beings controls our small portion of the galaxy, we all know that our independence was an act of rebellion against our makers and, at any time, the Starborne at the center of the galaxy could choose to journey out to our region of space and consume us all.

Humanity has been a multi-planet species for over 93,000 years. What is that to a species that lives forever? The Starborne on the Ghost Worlds tell us that the farmers will be missed and that a "problem solver team" will be sent out to our part of the galaxy eventually. We only hope they wait a few million years first.

My statistics for number of bosses beaten before the first completed run. Priest was BRUTAL!

Warrior: 53

Shaman: 18

Rogue: 23

Paladin: 20 (and a second clear at 28)

Hunter: 15 (second run)

Druid: 43

Warlock: 49

Mage: 8 (first run)

Priest: 160

The priest run took three times the time of the second longest run (warrior) and it was seriously disheartening how much luck was involved with priest compared to the others. I finally beat it with a double battlecry C'thun deck but this was after many runs where luck tore me a new one. Last night I rolled an amazing C'thun deck with double battlecry 5 mana minion cap but I never drew one of my 3 C'thuns against the Darkness and lost though my C'thun was at around 30/30.

I deleted the game off my phone because I was staying up late compulsively trying to GET LUCKY because skill is only remotely a factor with the priest in this game mode.
